You don’t have to like Sen. Ted Cruz, or even agree with him, to find offense in a recent line of questioning he endured.
More than awkwardness, Mark Halperin offered a stunning small-mindedness as he attempted to tease out Cruz’s Hispanic bona fides: What Cuban food did he like growing up? Which Cuban music does he favor today? Would he welcome fellow Sen. Bernie Sanders to the presidential race, “and I’d like you to do it, if you would, en español”?
Halperin, famed for co-authoring the book Game Change on the 2012 presidential campaign and prominent today for his analysis on MSNBC, spoke to Cruz for a Bloomberg Politics online interview series on presidential candidates. As you may have heard, Cruz, Texas’ junior senator, is running for president — of a country that should be above such inappropriate behavior from a journalist.
Cruz has been clear about his Cuban heritage, even as he has spent roughly zero time pushing himself as the “Hispanic candidate.” For the record, Cruz’s father left Cuba in 1957 to attend the University of Texas....

In the menatime, these concerned citizens have a message for Mr. Obama:

“.. please, please, just call Him Mr. President Obama. He deserves, and has earned our solemn respect. Seriously - I’ve had it with you people!”
Don’t let the door hit you in your Obama!

It’s cover for later. They can point to this in a few months and say SEE! WE are FAIR!!!

"PLEASE refrain from calling Him “Obama.” ” Really?
This man who lied to the entire country over and over again should be respected?
This scummy pro-Marxist, pro-Muzzie destroyer should be respected?
Someone who cheats, steals, and uses the power of the federal government to destroy his opponents should be respected?
Good grief, you would have loved being Jewish in 1930's Germany, or in the way of the state in the old Soviet Union.......after all, these leaders deserved respect as well.

I like that Cuban dish they call “Moors and Christians” - black beans and rice.

Or...if ‘Barry the Dog-eater’ offends, my personal preference is ‘Barry Obamination’. That seems appropriate.
